Eight years ago, approximately, when my second daughter was born, we invented a new "holiday" for our family - "Sister's Day." We figured since Mother's Day was in May, Father's Day in June, that July was the perfect time for "Sister's Day." So, the third Sunday in July, our daughters exchanged gifts for "Sister's Day."
Our youngest daughter attached this note to her older sister's gift this year.
BTW, there was some confusion over the exact weekend Sister's Day falls on. I always thought it was the third Sunday, my beautiful and talented wife Dianne thought it was the second Sunday. So, if anyone has extra time and wants to go back in my archives to find out when exactly "Sister's Day" is supposed to be, please let me know, OK?
Awwww, priceless. What a neat idea. TFS. Happy WW!

Sister's Day; that must be one of the most brilliant inventions of all time! I love the sweet note; it was truly sincere and from the heart.

This is wonderful! My kids are 1 and 3 years old. I think it's time to start a "Brother's Day" soon! Thanks for sharing. :)
